  1. I have an idea, they should make the entire car sort of silver/chrome, and then use a little bit of orange highlight. Nah, nothing like that could ever look good...
  2. Exactly. If it's just an inevitability of physics, then I don't consider that to be a "real" pass and I'm thoroughly uninterested in it.
  3. Yeah I really do get why they implemented DRS, but I still hate it. It's just way too powerful at many tracks. Passing shouldn't be easy, but at some tracks, with DRS, it becomes an absolute certainty. And I find THAT to be boring.
  4. Can't speak for Fort Worth location but the Velvet Taco I tried in Austin is definitely not as good as Torchy's. If Torchy's can be accused of sometimes trying too hard, then Velvet Taco is the try-hardiest joint around.
  5. The drivers know when they're doing it, and they're doing it intentionally to gain an advantage. I don't have any sympathy for them if they're not warned in real time. They just don't like getting caught. Too bad.

  7. ^^^^ Yup, pine doesn't take stain all that evenly. Pre-stain treatments help but even then, pine just doesn't do great. That's why so many people paint it, or leave it natural and seal it.
  8. Alison Mack was cute enough, but when it comes to Smallville I was all about Kristin Kreuk.
  9. The last time we had a low-high cycle was 2014/2015. It reached its lowest of around 622 in November 2014, and was full at 680+ a little over a year later. The majority of that occurred due to the Memorial Day flooding in Central Texas in 2015. Same storm that devastated Wimberly.
  10. I just stumbled over this site, which has daily levels for Lake Travis going all the way back to 1941, through present: https://waterdatafortexas.org/reservoirs/individual/travis.csv
  11. I'd been avoiding buying a tonneau cover because I just didn't want to hassle with it, but since my truck is our main family vehicle and we just drove to Florida and back, I needed something just to keep any potential rain off the luggage in the bed. It's a soft cover so not great for security, but it served its purpose and worked perfectly for what I bought it for. I drove through several heavy rainstorms and everything in the bed stayed nice and dry. https://www.americantrucks.com/proven-ground-f-150-locking-Roll-Up-tonneau-cover-t542740.html It's also a super-quick install of maybe 20 minutes, and I could uninstall it just as quickly if I wanted.
  12. I still have this one, I've had it since I bought it new around 1984, and I wear it every now and then just for fun:
  13. This site has a link to a spreadsheet on the right side that has lake level data by month from 1941 thru 2015. Not sure why they stopped then, I guess they got bored, but there are other sites that have more recent data. http://www.laketraviswaterlevel.com/

    I have the entire series on DVD, gift from my wife several years back. We've been through it twice now, plus the original viewings. So good.
  15. Yup that's a nice truck. Personally I love the electric running boards on mine, but they don't look as cool as fully-deployed ones.
  16. Amusing when the Sky team calls out-- fans keep saying "how hard is it to stay in the white lines" and then the drivers point out the problems. No. It's quite simple. Consistent enforcement of and punishment of track limits violations, will ensure driver respect for the track limits. These are (mostly) the best drivers in the world, they're failing on track limits because they intend to do so. Punish them, enforce the limits consistently week after week and month after month, and the problem goes away. Or, alternatively, move to my own personal preference of lava runoffs beyond every white line.
  17. Eh, watching Derka insist on Derkaing any and every thread in the Movies and TV Forum, belies your opinion. But I'm okay with considering them as equals.
  18. He's our resident BBQ Derka. Apparently he's the Chili Derka as well. Yay, us.
  19. I prefer my chili to have some shredded bits and some cubes that still hold together. You can achieve this by using different sized cubes.
  20. As a first-time Ford truck guy, the rear AC vents on my F150 are great. My kids always complain about being too cold. So I guess YMMV.
  21. Oh wow. It's going to be epic. Wood.
  22. There has never been a more perfect usage of this meme.
  23. I have a basic Garmin running watch that monitors heartrate and steps, I wear it every day. It also measures sleep quality or something but I can't stand wearing a watch at night so I don't use that feature.
